Not able to reboot device via SNMP

RouterOS
1

Hi,

I’m not able to reboot a CRS317 unit using SNMP set.

I’m following SNMP - RouterOS - MikroTik Documentation

Set seems to be accepted:

/ # snmpset -c mywrite -v 1 10.10.132.10 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.7.1.0 s 1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.7.1.0 = INTEGER: 0

But it does not reboot.

SNMP config:

[anur@SW-SUI-CRS317-1] /snmp/community> /snmp/export
# 2025-11-20 14:19:46 by RouterOS 7.20
# software id = 1GEK-VBAA
#
# model = CRS317-1G-16S+
# serial number = HGK09V31N1N
/snmp community
add addresses=10.0.0.0/8 name=mywrite write-access=yes
/snmp
set enabled=yes
[anur@SW-SUI-CRS317-1] /snmp/community>

Switch resources:

Thanks for the help!

Just guessing here, but could be worth a quick try. The “s 1” in the snmpset command means “set value to string value ‘1’”.

The current value is INTEGER: 0

Maybe try the snmpset with “i 1” to set an INTEGER?

EDIT:

Just tried this out on a test router and your original command worked. It’s on version 7.19.2

snmpset -c xxxxxxxx -v 1 192.168.x.x 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.7.1.0 s 1

Interestingly it seems the reason that “s 1” works is that snmp interprets string 1 as integer 49, its ascii representation. Learned something new.

It didn't work:

/ # snmpset -c mywrite -v 1 10.10.132.10 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.7.1.0 i 1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.7.1.0 = INTEGER: 0
/ #

Thanks!

/ # snmpset -c mywrite -v 1 10.10.132.12 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.7.1.0 s 1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.7.1.0 = INTEGER: 49
/ #

Just tried this out on a test router and your original command worked. It’s on version 7.19.2

Yeah, that will do it. The last couple major releases have been pretty hard. Think im staying with 19. 7.20.3 seems to be factory only and 7.20.4 broke webfig.
